Psychological safety in sport: validation of the French Sport Psychological Safety Inventory (SPSI-FR).
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Introduction: Psychological safety is increasingly recognized as a key determinant of athletes' wellbeing and sustainable performance, particularly in youth sport. Despite growing interest in the construct, validated tools to measure it remain largely limited to English contexts. This study thus aimed to validate a French translation of the Sport Psychological Safety Inventory (SPSI). Materials and methods: A sample of 210 francophone elite youth athletes aged between 14 and 25 ( Results: A confirmatory factor analysis, replicating the original three-factor structure of the SPSI (the factors being "mentally healthy environment", "mental health literacy" and "low self-stigma") showed good model fit (RMSEA = 0.076, SRMR = 0.034, CFI = 0.990, and TLI = 0.986) and strong internal consistency ( Discussion: These findings support the SPSI-FR as a reliable and valid measure of psychological safety in francophone sport contexts for both girls and boys. Its robust psychometric properties enable its use to monitor athlete wellbeing, assess intervention outcomes, and examine associations between psychological safety, mental health, and other sport environment variables.
